'I often compose in allegro, scherzo, or allegro vivace mode', declares Régis Campo at the risk of being seen as an agitator in a troubled age when the requiem with its trail of litanies and lamentos is invading the musical landscape. Régis Campo has decided to be at the epicentre of happiness. Should cheerfulness in music be banned nowadays? He sweeps away this view at a stroke: he composes his happiness, in search of music devoid of all heaviness. - Omer Corlaix
